Case arrived along with other parts, been putting the build together, However, Got some questions,

What is the Sata like connection coming from the Front Panel?

There is only Power Switch, HD Audio and HDD LED plugs, usually there are Power LED and Reset ones.. Am i missing them?
 
Sata Power connection coming from the top Front Panel Behind Motherboard Tray Lights Up the Acrylic INWin logo on front top Right,
Use a SATA Power Connector Coming from your PSU to connect to the case SATA Connector,
Otherwise, you can leave it disconnected.
That is why there are no + / - Power LEDs wire pins

Reset switch is dying out in a lot of cases for some time now
That why no reset Pin Wire
:)

So the only motherboard header Pins are (HDD LED +/ - ) & (Power Switch +/ -)
You see the HDD/SSD Activity from the power Switch :)

You top man... Ive been baffled as to why theres less connecters from my old case.. I suppose that helps with my cable management to :D

Thanks again mate
 
Reset switch Really not need now: Some motherboards Have a button built onto the motherboards if you even need to use it or just use the restart PC from windows start menu

Yep, LOL Less pins to plug into the front panel motherboard headers
 
Still, Use the USB 3.0 internal Header if your motherboard as a 3.0 header & also if your motherboard got good Built-in Audio,
connect the Case Audio Header to the motherboard
Other wise connect it to the soundcard like sound blaster Z
If you use case front Audio & Mic , or just don't use it

Yeah ive plugged the 3.0 in and the Audio connection as i dont have a sound card... Whats the benefits of having a sound card?
 
Depends on your motherboard Age,
The sound from AMD Ryzen X370 or B350 or X399 Motherboards or Intel Socket 1151 Z170 , Z270 , Z370 , LGA 2066 X299 Best onboard Audio
Ever the older Intel Z97 As good Audio

Would also need a good speaker Set up like 5.1

I am Use the onboard Audio of my Ryzen motherboard Gigabyte AX370
Audio Chip is ALC1220 with Creative® Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5 support
With Logitech Z906 5.1 Speaker System


Something like the new Sound BlasterX AE-5 Sound Card & 5.1 Speaker Setup Be also Great,
be better

But i am happy with the onboard Audio.

I have the Gigabyte z370 mobo... My old build was a ryzen and had AB350-N mobo...

I will be getting some headphones on boxing day as the missus has got me vouchers so may get a set of Corsair Voids or one of the Steelseries models.

Ah, that is Great then, ONBOARD be very good Audio from the new Coffee Lake Motherboards Gigabyte z370 Range
USe the ALC1220 codec Same :)
 
The New Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 More Geared up for Headsets, But I don't think there be much more Sound Gain, Motherboard Onboard good Enough

Thats good to hear i made the right choice of Board... Another question about the case, What did you do with you PSU cables do you tuck them in with the PSU or manage across the rear of the motherboard? My PSU is not modular

I have my 24pin and 8 pin going down through the top to the mobo... Your build looks great, Do you have SSD's mounted on the rear behind mobo
